Finishing the sentence CIII

One of my unfinished sentences and responses it received in November 1988:

The best way to appear as though you've attained perfection is...

...to act like ME! (Jonathan P.)

...to be happy and content with yourself.  Not arrogant, but just so others know you're happy. (Sue A.)

...downplay everything you do.  One appears perfect this way without appearing snobbish. (Chris E.)

...to fake it.  No one is ever perfect, but one can appear to be so by putting on a good show of acting. (Mark R.)

...Well, for starters, talk a lot, but don't make any definite statements.  If you're wrong, you look very stupid.  No, really, just try and be the best you can.  Don't listen to anyone who says it's not enough. (Betsy B.)
